scummers lighting wheelie bins

swingking · 27-04-2007 09:14PM #1

Just heard on the news that some low life lit a wheelie bin and is has ended up with the death of an elderly woman.

I have heard of this happening but it seems now that someone has lost their life . Apparently, the flames from the bin lit a car which caused a house fire.

These pieces of sh1t should be done for manslaughter. Anyone caught in doing this should be done for attempted murder

Last week here in Kilkenny, a block of apartments had to be evacuated in the middle of the night after some skangers set a bin on fire, and the bin was about a foot away from a gas mains. Apparently its a regular occurance around apartment blocks here in the past few weeks. These fúcking idiots seriously must have no concept of what they are doing, and the serious potential for loss of life where fire is concerned, as was seen in Clonmel today. Some gobshítes have an innocent womans death on their conscience, I just hope they are "big enough" to admit what they have done.

never really see it happening around my area (despite plenty of scummers), but it's pretty f'ing stupid alright.

a prank that went terribly wrong, the woman was very unlucky. RIP

She wasnt unlucky. Luck had nothing to do with some idiot setting fire to her bin.

the scumbag lit the bin, the flames from the bin unluckily hit the car, the car exploded and once again unlucky that the flames spread to the house,and then unlucky that she couldnt get out

The flames didnt unluckily hit the car. Fire by nature can be unpredictable, and therefore no-brain scumbag didnt think about a petrol filled vehicle sitting next to said wheelie bin before lighting it up. Its luck that her husband survived.

Deliberate property damage by arson. No way that is a prank.

A few generations ago people as young as five were hanged for setting fires because of the danger. Something like one in a thousand of us will die in a fire.

timwex that is one of the most heartless comments i have ever heard. why didn't the scummer set fire to some bin somewhere in the middle of nowhere so he wouldn't be making others 'unlucky'?

Ahh, because he was a classic Elm Park, Clonmel scumbag and you don't get wheelie bins in the middle of nowhere.

The only unlucky thing about this is that the scumbag was born in the first place.

I had to call the fire brigade at 3am because of something similiar in my estate a few months back. As well as burning bins which were close to cars, they also set fire to a skip in a neighbouring driveway... *Luckily* the fire brigade arrived quickly...

A couple of weeks back here in Carlow town some scumbags started setting light to wheelie bins on there way home from the pub/club it seems. Bins werent enough for them and they resorted then to setting light to 5 cars which where completely gutted!!

These little scumbags and lowlife have become a big problem around here recently, you do be half afraid that you'll have your car set alight! God bless them, sure they're bored and modern society has them this way........the little darlings! I only hope they'll cross the wrong fella that'll kick the s%^t out of them and teach them a lesson!!

joejoem · 28-04-2007 12:54PM

according to the Irish Independant

They set fire to the car and rolled it towards the house.

prank? unlucky? wtf?

Oul Wan · 29-04-2007 11:27PM

This was no "prank". It was a mindless act performed by someone with no respect for the property or lives of others. They set light to a wheelie bin in a heavily populated area for God's sake.

I knew this woman. I was in college with her, although doing a different course. I still can't believe that this has happened. She was one of the nicest people you could ever meet and had been working really hard on her leaving cert. So close to completing it too. This was such an unfair, horrible thing to happen. May she rest in peace. God love her poor husband.

Your unlucky when you lose at cards or football. Being burnt alive in your own home is horrifying.

The moron who set fire to that wheelie bin is ultimately responsible for that
womans death and should get time if caught, which i hope he is.

Very sad. Her husband must be devastated. I think the fcukers should be charged with murder, not manslaughter.

Don't be bloody ridiculous

Terrible loss of life, hopefully they're charged with something over this (if they're found out)

Dear god! A bit too much knee-jerking here for my liking

Chucky the tree · 30-04-2007 12:42AM

attempted murder and murder?

get a ****ing grip.

seamus · 30-04-2007 09:25AM

"Murder" would imply an intention to kill. It would be tough to prove in court that a piece of **** lighting up a wheelie bin was setting out to kill someone.

Manslaughter would still apply though.

This is one of those things that makes me want someone to litter half of the country with CCTV. I only hope that the poor woman had passed out or suffocated before the flames got to her

finbarrk · 30-04-2007 09:34AM

Does anybody know if anyone has been pulled in over it?

Boggle · 30-04-2007 10:27AM

Indo journalism at its best maybe... The car was left in gear and when it burned the engine kicked and moved the car forward. Quite common for this to happen apparently.
Apparently the bedroom window was left open and acted as a chimney, pulling the flames straight up.

Not that I'm aware of though they have found what could be important evidence.

Unfortunately thats just Clonmel for you. Its gone from bad to worse in this town to the extent that I don't even go near the town since I came back home... I've lived in Limerick, London and Dublin and I'd feel safer going out in any of those places than Clonmel.

London, San Fran and Paris here and I feel the same way about Clonmel. Pity really....

_feedback_ · 30-04-2007 10:38AM

the stupidity of what this is incredible. I sincerely hope they get whatever mindless prick that done it.

Savman · 30-04-2007 11:44AM

Don't be surprised if the "mindless prick" or the "scummer" is 12yo. What then?
Something similar happened recently on me Ma's road, noone injured but serious damage done and it was one 12yo and one 14yo out "dossing" at 3am :eek:
Mammy and Daddy Scummer, please stand up.
